In her latest YouTube video, Marya Okoth opened up about her life, regrets, and future dating plans, addressing questions from her fans. This comes after her ex, comedian YY, introduced his new girlfriend, sparking curiosity about her own perspective on the breakup and her current relationship status.
While Marya refrained from commenting on her split with YY in September, she candidly answered other personal questions.
On Regrets in Life
Marya shared her philosophy on regrets:
“I don’t dwell on regrets. Even when things haven’t gone the way I hoped, I see them as lessons. Carrying regrets only leads to self-doubt and feeling inadequate. Instead, I choose to learn and grow from my experiences.”
She encouraged her fans to adopt the same mindset, reminding them that even the smartest people make mistakes.
Advice to Her Younger Self
Her advice was straightforward: “As cliché as it sounds, hard work pays.”
On Finances in Relationships
When asked about splitting bills or supporting a partner financially, Marya expressed a balanced approach:
“It depends on the relationship. Each one is different, and I wouldn’t give general advice. Observe your partner and do what works for you as a couple. Never copy others.”
She added that she wouldn’t mind stepping up financially if her partner was struggling, acknowledging that finances can be a tricky topic in relationships.

Pride in Her Surname
Marya proudly carries her father’s name, Okoth, stating,
“I carry his name with pride because he’s a wonderful person. My dad is reserved and doesn’t like appearing in my videos, unlike my outgoing mom. My family values privacy, and I respect that.”
Relationship Status
When asked if she’s dating, Marya laughed off the question, teasing her audience:
“Do I have a boyfriend? Hmm, let me just say I don’t think I’ll ever go public with a relationship again, but never say never.”
She clarified her current status, joking about the assumptions people make:
“If I’ve gained weight or seem happy, people start saying, ‘She has a boyfriend!’ But no, I don’t. Let me make it clear: I am single.”
Marya’s openness resonated with her fans, as she balanced humor and vulnerability while addressing personal topics.
